and as it continues: Hear/d Residency Exhibition

The Alberta College of Art & Design Students’ Association (ACADSA) invites you to view ‘and as it continues’ a student art exhibition derived from the ACADSA Hear/d Residency program which explores personal stories of resilience.

The ACADSA Hear/d Residency program is a pilot peer support project developed by the Students’ Association of the Alberta College of Art & Design (ACAD). The program focuses on the central theme of resilience, relating to the journey of mental health issues experienced by many post-secondary students. Drawing on this theme, participants are invited to explore these concerns in an innovative way by creating works which reflect lived experiences of the participants. Through group discussion, individual studio time and critiques, this residency provides a platform for a diversity of creative activity that aims to raise awareness and de-stigmatize mental health on campus. The residency concludes with a two-week long exhibition to celebrate the artists involved while simultaneously de-stigmatizing mental health on campus by inviting the extended ACAD community to view the exhibit.

Alberta College of Art + Design, Main Mall
Exhibition dates: November 29 – December 11
Reception: Wednesday, December 6 from 6pm – 8pm

Daniel Beanmash’s El Barrio is an installation exploring the political realities of life in Nicaragua. El Barrio is an interior space constructed to resemble aspects of the artist’s familial home in Managua, Nicaragua. All of the objects within the installation—old furniture, rocking chairs, a television set, small Christian icons, etc.—have been covered in layers of graffiti. Displayed on the television is footage from the 2018 protests in Nicaragua that left at least 317 dead, paired with the song Me Voy Pa’l Pueblo (I’m Going Into Town) by Trio Los Panchos. The protests began in April 2018 as a response to President Daniel Ortega’s social security reforms that proposed a decrease in pension payments and an increase in taxes, but have since become widespread demonstrations calling for the resignation of Ortega. – Declan Hoy 2019

Daniel Beanmash is a Canadian artist of Nicaraguan dissent. His work often tackles subjects such as corruption within social structures, religious history, internalized racism, and the technological advancements of the natural world and societies within it. These concepts are delivered through drawings, silkscreen prints, found object sculptures and video/projection work.
